Guest Feature Puppy Dessert Bar
Have you ever seen a dessert bar created for a puppy? Check out this adorable “meet the puppy” dessert bar that Kristy of Posh Pixels Design Studio created for her new puppy Ozzy. I love how Kristy made “for the humans” and “for the dogs” tags for her different guests. The puppies had treats like rawhides, biscuits and softies. I’m sure Ozzy was rolling over with excitement over all of these treats!
Come back tomorrow…
